Our Favorite Crazy Votes in the Sight & Sound Greatest Film Poll

Sight & Sound Magazine finally put the complete results of their 2012 Greatest Films Poll online, allowing us the opportunity to pour over every single ballot and then loudly and obnoxiously judge them. For instance: "Die Hard" didn't get a single vote out of 800 critics but Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd" got two? C'mon folks. I know movies are subjective, I know opinions are subjective, but some things are clear-cut: "Die Hard" is better than "Sweeney Todd."

Kidding aside, I'm not really upset about any of the results, but I do love studying them. And I love seeing the crazy movies (*coughSweeneyToddcough*) that wind up on people's lists. Just yesterday I wrote about Maria Montez and Arnold Schwarzenegger and perfect filmic appositeness, so while I call these votes "crazy" I say that with love: I think it's fantastic when critics throw caution, consensus, taste, and reputation to the wind to pick a movie they admire regardless of what others thinks. If these ten critics are nuts, then I salute their insanity.

To repeat: all of these movies received votes as one of the ten greatest films ever made. I swear I'm not kidding. And, seriously: "Die Hard" didn't get one vote. Neither did "Ghostbusters." We may need to start a petition before the 2022 poll.
